Hey everyone, I am so exited this is my last post of 2010!, and what a better way to end it then with a Chades Challenge for the ever popular Pixar animator Austin Madison! I Finally had the chance to meet Austin in person at the Super Big Micro Gallery held at Gallery Nucleus. He is a really great guy and I hope I have the chance to work with him in the future.

This weeks challenge was Claustrophobic Kelpie and I got to say I had to much fun with this challenge! There is nothing I love more than creatures from mythos, plus I got to learn a few things about what a kelpie is. According to Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You illustrated by the amazing Tony Diterlizzi, a kelpie is a ghastly water spirt that assumes the form of a grayish black horse. The kelpie then devours anyone who attempts to ride it. Also from various other sources on the web I learned, that they have sticky seal skin, also take the form of beautiful girls, and are part of celtic myth.

Above is my take on a Kelpie that feels if though the life saver stuck around her neck is closing in around her. The illustration where done in water color, prism pencil, and prism marker

Hey everyone figured I would give the blog some lovin, time has been short these last two weeks due to the fact that I am now an intern at Bolt City Productions with Kazu Kibuishi creator of Flight comics. So far it has been a blast and I am loving all the new stuff I am learning. This illustration was inspired by a drawing I completed earlier this year, hope you like!
